The program provides partners with a greater level of protection and return on investment and enables them to work closely with the Tegile technical team to provide the best possible service and expertise to customers, thereby maximizing margins.

"The evolving technology landscape continues to put pressure on the channel to deliver higher margins on its products and services," said Justin Cheen, vice president of sales for Tegile Systems. "We are totally focused on selling through the channel and are committed to seeing our partners succeed. We believe our approach of 100% channel sales will deliver higher margins and better support for our partners as our program brings them a host of new sales opportunities.
